Wingman Metrics
A 131-label list sounds impressive until you actually read it. What you get is a greatest-hits compilation of brands you've seen at every chain steakhouse from here to Phoenix — Caymus, La Marca, Veuve Clicquot, Moët. It's a wine list designed to look serious without doing any of the work.
The sparkling and Champagne section is where STK spends most of its energy, leaning hard into recognizable labels like Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, Moët Impérial, and Nicolas Feuillatte — bottles that move on name recognition, not quality-to-price ratio. Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and the broader bottle list follow the same philosophy: safe, familiar, zero risk. There's no real regional exploration happening here, no small producers, no interesting detours into Burgundy, Barolo, or even domestic cult Cab territory. If you came hoping to find something you haven't seen before, you're going to leave disappointed.
Three — count them, three — by-the-glass options at $9 each, pulling from a roster that includes Caymus Bonanza Cabernet, Silver Gate Rosé, and Silver Gate Moscato. For a 131-bottle list, this is almost offensive. Three pours is what a pizza place offers, not a steakhouse charging serious money for beef.
Caymus Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon — $9
It's the best option at the glass price point — Bonanza is an everyday Cab that punches above its actual cost, and at $9 a glass it's about as reasonable as this list gets.
Ceretto I Vignaioli di S. Stefano Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2024
Buried in a sparkling section full of Champagne house brands, this is an actual quality Italian producer making real Moscato d'Asti — delicate, low-alcohol, and genuinely interesting compared to everything else around it.
Moët & Chandon 'Impérial' Brut Champagne
You're paying a steep restaurant markup on a Champagne that costs $45 retail and is genuinely outclassed by grower producers at the same price point. The name is doing all the heavy lifting here.
Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label' Brut Champagne + Ribeye
If you're going to spend money at STK, at least make it interesting — the acidity and bubbles in the Yellow Label cut through the fat on a well-marbled ribeye better than most of the reds on this list will.
The Bottom Line
STK Atlanta's wine list is a billboard for brands, not a resource for drinkers. With only three by-the-glass options and a bottle list that mistakes familiarity for quality, you're better off ordering a cocktail and saving the wine budget for somewhere that earned it.
· Atlanta · Sushi / Omakase
Sushi By Bou is clearly here to serve great fish — and the wine list confirms that wine is very much an afterthought. Order the Dom if you're feeling flush or the Hampton Water if you're being sensible, and let the food do the heavy lifting.

· Atlanta · Mediterranean / New American
Rose & Rye isn't a destination for wine nerds, but it's a perfectly functional list for a date night where the wine is supporting the evening, not headlining it. Order the Crémant, avoid the Caymus markup, and you'll do just fine.

· Atlanta · Steakhouse
Hal's delivers a competent, Napa-forward bottle list that does exactly what a steakhouse wine program is supposed to do — just without much surprise or value mercy. Send a friend here if they want a reliable big-red experience; warn them to leave the credit card breathing room.

Nando's is here for the chicken, and the wine list knows it — eight uninspired labels that exist to check a box, not to enhance your meal. Order the Vinho Verde, enjoy your peri-peri, and don't overthink it.

· Atlanta · Italian
Bici's wine list won't knock you sideways, but it's honest, Italian-focused, and fairly priced — a reliable partner to the food. We'd send a friend here and tell them to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and go straight for the Greco.

· Atlanta · Southern
SouthernNational is doing something genuinely unusual — running a tight, Europe-forward wine list inside a Southern kitchen, and mostly pulling it off. If you're tired of the same Sonoma Pinot and overpriced Malbec at every restaurant in town, this list is worth your attention.

Steve Fields clearly puts its energy into the kitchen, not the cellar — and at these price points, that imbalance is hard to ignore. Order the Evesham Wood if it's still there, and otherwise come for the steak, not the wine list.

· San Diego · Steakhouse
Greystone is a reliable, if predictable, steakhouse wine list — the kind where you can always find something decent but you'll rarely be surprised. Skip the Opus splurge, order the Paradigm, and you'll walk out satisfied.

Morton's San Diego is spending more energy on the wedge salad than the wine list, and it shows. Come for the steak, order carefully, and don't expect much beyond the obvious.
